The Colorado Springs Symphony's annual teaming with Flash Cadillac has become a holiday tradition, truly THE party of the season. Recorded last year with former Music Director Christopher Wilkins at the baton, "Ghost of Christmas Past" is the perfect CD for parties. The title is appropriate because songs such as "Jingle Bell Rock," "All I Want For Christmas is You" and "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" are made for Flash's classic 50s sound. Don't expect any surprises here. The beats are simple, predictable, and made for baby-boomer Dancing--not wild, tear-up-the-floor dancing, but the kind of simple swaying that is all folks can manage while wearing rented tuxes one size too small and heels 2 inches too high. The Colorado Springs Children's Chorale joins in on several songs and they sound flawless. A great time is had by all!
